It's astonishing the level of realism that both models have in this and also in others photo you can see online.

It's not HDR rendering per se that makes it look realistic; it's image based lighting.
Nope.
Yeah, it's this technique that we don't see in any game using HDR maps but only in some tech demos (rhtldbir) and in Cg tools..
I thin that same background photo has been used to illuminate hl2 models replaced in post processing directly on the image. But that model remain 3D rendered and really realistic.

Not trying to be an a**
but the demo you mentioned is this:
RTHDRIBL: Real-Time High-Dynamic Range Image Based Lighting.
I know it's hard to remember but I've seen too many abbr. floating around the internet.
Cheers.:smile:
Where can I buy that combine soldier costume, then?
The word COSPLAY comes to mind...
The last two look like CGI.

Hahaha.. you've seen the same picture you dirty man
but yes.. seeing this again after 1,5 year.. it looks less stunning than it did.. Somehow the shadows don't work out now on most pics..
Is that a New South Wales number plate I can see?
Could be hard to tell though.. Yellow with black writing, and seems to be in a 3-3 arrangement. Looking through the car window it also appears that it might be a Right Hand Drive... but it's too small to tell really.
